  3. This is Office Space on steroids. Gay steroids…

  4. DDC, you do know how this story actually ends, right? What he was doing when the cops came to arrest him? Let’s just say he raced home to let out his frustrations with the help of a boy-toy.

    If you’re not a corrupt CEO with a golden parachute or a city employee with a cushy retirement, this is the exit route.

    ‘Two beers and slide to the tarmac’ could become an often used expression.

    Well, imagine that. A drama queen male flight attendant is gay. Color me surprised.

    Nothing wrong with that, but it’s amazing how well it fits the stereotype.

    I really don’t blame him for what he did. It was only a matter of time until one of these folks snapped. At least he went out in an entertaining way. A less fabulous person may have pulled some sort of workplace shooting or stabbing.

  7. Scott,

    Yep. That was the absolute icing on the cake. According to the newest reports, he may not be as innocent as he’s being made out to be. But who cares, I can only imagine the crap that he’s put up with as a flight attendant for 20+ years.

    20+ years, it’s not quitting; it’s a prison break. They interviewed his ex-wife. No wonder he’s gay.

  9. I suddenly need to hear the Replacements “Waitress in the Sky”.

  10. This reminds me of a story one of my former managers told me about an airline trip she took with another manager. She has a pretty sick sense of humor, so she found the incident more funny then anything. While traveling on a packed plane there was a man that had a cold in front of her and her companion. And instead of him blowing his nose or going to the bathroom, he decided it would be better that he suck the snot in then spit it out in the barf bag, throughout the entire trip. Of course they were disgusted at first then they begin timing his intervals and nicknamed him ‘Hack a Loogey’ they couldn’t stop laughing everytime he spit. In fact he turned around a few times and gave them ‘the look’ (like he had justification). Finally the lady sitting next to him couldn’t take it anymore and laid into, and basically asked him WTF was wrong with him?! They were laughing so hard they thought they were going to need CPR.

    The point? I can’t imagine working as a flight attendant.
